What's The Definition Of A "Friend"?

[@mustanggang5.0]

Someone who is going to defend you when you aren’t around and will be honest with you even if it hurts

[@skinnyminnieog]

“There comes a time in every man's life When he's gotta handle shit up on his own Can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze Please, they got problems of their own”

[@chelabuford7106]

Proverbs 17:17 says, "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity". This verse highlights the value of a true friend and the role of a brother in times of need.

[@mustanggang5.0]

@ you’re thinking from a “fighting” point of view. I’m speaking from character. If someone is accusing/slandering your name while you aren’t present. A real friend would stick up for you not sit idle by.
